is a pointer to (alternate name for) a child directory, object entry,
or other soft link.
object This object represents a object entry, which is the name of a
CDS resource that appears in the cell namespace. Some object
entries name resources that CDS clients can access (for example,
a disk, machine, or application). Others name resources solely
